Hi everyone, I'm having a traditional bathroom suite fitted soon and having made all the big decisions am now stumped about the waste and plug practicalities. I'd like recommendations on the best waste options that will look good in an art deco styled bathroom, work well and be long lasting. Are...

I'm trying to fit a new bath in my old house. The waste outlet is a 1 3/4" Lead pipe. Is there a simple way for me a as DIYer to connect lead pipe to the standard 1 1/2" plastic waste trap from the bath ?

Hi, I am trying to remove the drain plug from a bath it has a center screw. It is a long screw, as it gets the top of the ravel it stops. I have tried all sorts WD 40 etc but it will not budge. I am wondering if it is designed this way? The bath is 30 odd years old. Thanks.

Hi, I have finally decided to swap out the stand alone taps in my bath for a mixer. I have previously been using a Croydex push-fit shower but think it's finally time to upgrade to a proper fitted one. I have been looking at a deck-mounted thermostatic bath/shower mixer like this Vellamo Echo...

I’ve fitted this waste overflow pipe to my roll too but seems to not fit, is it wrong for the bath or can I make it fit somehow?

Hi, a friend was complaining about water dripping through her kitchen ceiling. Turns out that the bath waste pipe is leaking. I've not seen copper pipe used as a bath waste before. I have smeared some silicon around the join but I need to fix this. I think best to hacksaw the old tee section...

So I am having my bathroom redone. I was quoted for using moisture board - but given the option to upgrade to using hard backer cement board or fully waterproof backer board (STS?) - they said the costs of using either would be the same. Anyone have experience of these boards? Also should the...

Hi All, Have accidentally snapped something plastic that the bath drain screws into. Can anyone tell me from the attached images what the y shaped plastic is called and if I can replace it? Or if anything else can be used instead as a replacement? Thanks, Craig

Hi all, I have no knowledge when it comes to plumbing so will describe our situation best I can... A few months ago, our bath tap began to leak. No matter how hard we turned the taps off (which we later learnt causes further damage) it would still leak, and gradually got worse over time. We had...

Having a new bathroom fitted and the old bath. It's a terraced house with a single story kitchen to the back. The bath waste pipe runs through the roof of the kitchen and then out to the side. There is no access from the kitchen into the roof area above. The floor of the bathroom is about 5cm...

One of the cassettes/valves in my bath mixer tap has gone, so I'm trying to get it out. I can remove the handle but am unable to unscrew the bonnet (see photo). I'm using grips but it's not made any easier by it being a sloping surface. I've tried spraying WD-40 and descaler around the base and...

DIY newbie here - I was wondering if anyone has come across the following pivot that was used for my P-shaped bath's curved screen. Been looking for a while but not having much luck.

Hello All, I need to fit an external traditional chrome exposed waste to a smaller than standard roll top bath. If I buy any standard one of these, will I be able to cut to size? images attached

I am restoring a cast iron bath to use as an outdoor pond, I need to seal up the drain, there is a 40mm threaded pipe, I was hoping to find something that I can screw on to seal it. Can anyone recommend a product?

Hi all, my bath tap is slightly leaking so I was planning to change the washers but having difficulty taking off this cover highlighted in red. Is this screwed on or is it just a cover that should just pop off? Sprayed some wd40 around the edges and try to pry off with a flat head screw driver...

My daughter has just had her small bathroom remodeled. It includes a bath with a shower at one end. However the installer has been unable to source a glass shower screen that will fit, in terms of height. Does any one know of a made to measure solution or any other idea, other than a shower curtain?

Hi guys I was just wondering, is it ok to have your bath drain directly above the drainage pipe that leads to the gully trap, and not have to use the corrugated flexible pipe that comes with baths? I'm not a plumber. Thanks guys

Hi there, apologies if wrong forum section. we’re trying to refurb the bath drain as the chrome plating has come off. However, there appears to be a ring with 2 slots either side locking it in place. Is there a name for this part and a tool that can remove it? Or, is there another way to change...
